Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

In conventional farming, the crops and livestock in the United States are managed using inputs such as synthetic fertilizer and pesticides. The USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) defines organic agriculture as an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain, or enhance ecological harmony.. In organic farming, crops must be certified as such. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms are allowed. In addition, proactive fertility systems, conservation measures, environmentally sound manure, weed, disease, and pest management practices, and soil-building crop rotation systems are used.
